Tasting Notes
This lively and invigorating wine is perfect for enjoying with friends. It showcases delightful aromas of Nashi pear, citrus zest, and orange blossom, accompanied by a burst of vibrant fresh peach and citrus flavors on the palate. The medium to soft acidity perfectly blends with the generous fruit flavors and creamy texture, enhanced by a subtle note of cashew. A wonderful pairing for this wine would be a classic chicken Caesar salad, complementing its vibrant flavors.
STYLE
Fruit driven Pinot Gris with great balance of acid and length on the palate.
REGION
Sourced from long-term growers in the Adelaide Hills, including the Moskos and Porter families.
VINTAGE SUMMARY
The 2023 vintage tested winemakers' skills and resilience with challenging seasonal conditions. Fluctuations in rainfall and a prolonged cool ripening period resulted in one of the latest harvests in living memory. Despite the difficulties, the vintage produced wines with exceptional varietal characters, pure aromatic qualities, well-structured tannins, and defined acidity. Winter rainfall provided a promising start for vine growth, but above-average rainfall later in 2022 caused concerns during berry set in some regions. The cool ripening months allowed for gradual flavor accumulation and preservation of natural acidity in white varieties.
MATURATION
Cool stainless steel fermentation and bottled early to retain the varietal freshness.
CELLARING
